Error when using Qlineedit setInputMask
-
In my software, I set an input mask to a QlineEdit and it works fine unless I set the value using setText with a value that does not attend to the input mask restrictions. From that point on visually, the input mask does not work anymore.
the input mask is: "^-?[0-9]+[.]{0,1}[0-9]{"x"}$
x is the number of decimal digits allowedIt is set a value like -0.XX. And the error occurs.
Does anyone have any idea why that happens?

Hi and welcome to devnet,
Your input mask looks a bit fishy. It seems to be a regexp rather than an input mask. Is it the case ?

@SGaist you are correct!

@SGaist it is used in the setValidator with the same expression.

These are two different concepts which usually do not contain the same expressions because they are doing two different things.
